The latest salvo from the Conservatives is that Liberals are moral hypocrites for not acknowledging what they claim is a Chinese genocide against the Uyghurs of the Xinjiang Autonomous Region. This is the lay of the land:
There are approximately 11.77 million Uyghurs in China, with the majority living in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. Uyghurs constitute roughly 44.96% of Xinjiang's population, making them one of the largest ethnic groups in the region, closely followed by the Han Chinese.
Conservatives cite the American proscription on the importation of goods made with forced labour which they say accounts for about 10% of the aluminum produced in China.

(๐งต 1/5) At tonight's University Senate governance forum, @jrslaugh told the audience @Columbia was "in violation" of its 1810 charter's $20,000 real estate cap. He said he'd "searched through all the archives". Three panelists, including a constitutional law prof, nodded along. 
@jrslaugh @Columbia (๐งต 2/6) The New York Legislature repealed that provision in 1884. It's on page 55 of Columbia's own published charter documents. Took about five minutes to find.

@jrslaugh @Columbia (๐งต 3/6) @jrslaugh also claimed the 1810 charter refers to "the furniture of the mind" as evidence the trustees are misreading archaic language to justify their authority.

Kataib Hezbollah is one of Iraqโs most powerful militant groups and the same militia that held Elizabeth Tsurkov (@LizHurra), an Israeli Russian doctoral student at @Princeton University, hostage for more than two years, torturing her while in captivity.

What part of this 2016 Jane Doe affidavit does NOT sound like Trump? Or, every other @FBI statement in Epstein files? TWO witnesses submitted supporting affidavits: Joan & Tiffany Doe. @nytimes @TheAtlantic @NewYorker In 2019, @RonanFarrow noted this rape was IGNORED.
In 2024 NYAG election fraud trial, Trump was found GUILTY of 34 felonies. National Enquirerโs, Dylan Howard TESTIFIED under oath that @NatEnquirer PAID OFF Stormy Daniels/McDougal in Oct/Nov 2016 timeframe: same time Howard URGED lawyer @LisaBloom to drop Doeโs 2016 rape.
DEATH THREATS are included in complaints in the Epstein files. THIS 2016 one was no different. BUT in 2016? Trump was President Elect. Both he and Epstein had BILLIONS to pay off & EXPERIENCE disposing of, killing victims. Jane, Tiffany, Joan Doe? Never heard from again.
Thread with excerpts from "The Information State" by Jacob Siegel (2026). Thesis: The Information State is a new form of political regime that "governs by controlling the codes and protocols of the digital public arena, which it uses to engineer the publicโs compliance."
Siegel traces what he calls the information state to the GWOT, when the 1990s libertarian ethos and hostility to the state of tech was replaced with a public-private infrastructure for, initially, mass surveillance and debanking of potential terrorists.
However, tech staid away from domestic issues or governing discourse, until Obama, beginning with a strong partnership between the White House and Google.
He lost 113 lbs by eliminating ONE BACTERIUM that made up 35% of his gut.
From 385 lbs and pre-diabetic to 272 lbs with normal blood sugar โ in just 23 weeks.
Same diet. Same effort. One bacterium.
ENTEROBACTER CLOACAE.
This bacterium produces a toxin called LPS. When your gut lining is damaged, that toxin leaks into your blood.
Your body starts building brand new fat cells from scratch.
Every morning you wake up puffier than the night before. Every cut stalls at the same waist measurement.
Researchers isolated the bacterium from this manโs gut. Put it into germ-free mice. Fed them the same high-fat diet as a control group.
The mice with Enterobacter got obese.
The mice without it didnโt.
Same calories. Same fat. One variable.
PMID: 23235292
As Enterobacter dropped from 35% to undetectable, his endotoxin load collapsed. Blood sugar normalized. Blood pressure normalized.
113 lbs gone.
His protocol was a whole-grain prebiotic diet that starved the bacterium out.
But the question is โ what else kills Enterobacter?
Mastic gum โ a tree resin used in Greek medicine for 2,500 years โ has shown direct antibacterial activity against it in lab testing.
The same resin that killed H. pylori in the 1998 NEJM paper.
PMID: 9874617
Bloating after clean meals. Brain fog by 2pm. Nothing changed no matter what I removed from my diet. Two weeks on mastic gum and the bloating was gone. First time in months I ate a full meal without thinking about it.
You donโt have a discipline problem. You have a bacterial problem.
Youโve probably never been tested for it.

Over 900 people have asked me which mastic gum I use across my posts.
Most mastic gum on amazon is cut with fillers. Lower dose. No standardization for the active compound โ isomasticadienolic acid โ that actually kills H. pylori in the NEJM study.
This is the one I take daily. Has been for 8 months.
My bloating went from every meal to maybe once a week. Morning brain fog cleared by week 3.

8 pathogens mastic gum has shown activity against in studies:
H. pylori โ stomach ulcers (PMID: 9874617)
Enterobacter cloacae โ visceral fat accumulation
E. coli โ gut inflammation
Klebsiella pneumoniae โ bloating
P. gingivalis โ gum disease and systemic inflammation
Staphylococcus aureus โ skin infections
Staphylococcus epidermidis โ biofilm buildup
Candida albicans โ brain fog and sugar cravings
These donโt go away on their own. They colonize.

๐งตLast night a federal court granted Apple's request to force me to delete my public speech about Apple using their employee's bodies like lab rats & gagged me from talking about it going forward with no end date. No hearing or findings; and Apple decides what I can & can't say.
Apple's motion was denied โ the judge said Apple didn't follow the rules. Then the judge gave Apple everything Apple asked for anyways & more, without explanation or justification. Takedown order. Gag order. Sealing. Despite no motion for any of it.
The NLRB already investigated. Apple signed a national settlement promising to stop silencing workers with overbroad confidentiality rules. Now Apple is using a court order to do the exact thing it told the federal government it would stop doing.

Generally holds true at PB and PBSC level. You can toggle.
The 19th CC's PBSC the only one w/ 100% of members from the same decade (1950s, Xi's generation).

A brief biography of Turki al-Binโali, before his career within the Islamic State:
He was born in 1984 to a relatively well off Bahrani family, and was immediately thrust into religious studies, studying at the private Imam School in Bahrain and memorizing the Quran.
He then studied at the Dubai College for Islamic studies, running into his first issues with the law over alleged โextremismโ. After his release, he completed his studies at the Bahrain shariah institute and Beirutโs Imam al-Awazi College.

Great bands last long, they don't go for the quick hits. If along an illustrious long career, they manage to innovate, break new ground and maintain a higher quality standard, then are in a superior category.
Roxy Music, 1972, "Virginia plain"
Roxy Music, 1972, "Virginia plain"
Both Brian Eno and Bryan Ferry shaped the first 2 years of the band. After Eno's departure in 1973, it was Ferry's show with the help of the core McKay / Manzanera. Still with Eno clearly influencing the sound, "Ladytron", 1972.
Eno and Ferry clearly were at odds, both musically and literally. Eno launched a spectacular solo career, but with his exit the electronic/experimental sound was gone, and Ferry's strong R&B roots took hold, along with erotic lyrics.
